TO me this is really odd as i have never before in my life known a wild boar to be put up for sale ? is it common in other parts of the Country ?
-
There were none in this week but they usually make £5 /£8
-
Melton Market yesterday Fallow Deer 32 lb made £46 Wild Boar 61 lb made £61 there was not one Rabbit in , a few years ago there would have been hundreds .

I am after this lad and some Rabbit damage
micky replied to micky's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
i like him , he makes my Mrs eff and blind a lot . -
This little fellah runs over our bedroom ceiling every night and it sounds like he's wearing Clogs , tried to sell the Mrs a lb of Blewitts and she chipped me on the price because of Rabbit damage to top everything up i have four false teeth on the upper front and i spewed them down the Kharzi on Friday night that will be about £400life is tough for us Pensioners .

In the 50s it was really cheap but now days it goes straight to Japan , there are not many Fishmongers about now days so it can be hard to find but if you do it is worth a try. Ox tail is another food that was very cheap my Grand parents had it on the range day and night through the winter months and basin full of it was a good start to the day.

You eat it with Cod Roe, but we do not call it Roe down here .
-
Not even close Mate ,Sweet breads are in my Butchers every Friday of the year and cost £2 .50 a lb this food as a very short season .
-
The season for this food starts in the middle of January and ends about March, when i was a kid i had to fetch it from Loughborough Market and it was a Shilling a lb { 5p } now days it is about £5.50 lb anyone else eat it ?
-
Still plenty about even though the season should be over, in the picture it shows how their growth affects the grass, my old rabbiting mate always used to ell me not to look for Blue legs, look at the grass .

I saw one of those Ladies last week and she looked like she had,had more Prick than the Dartboard
-
It is not unusual to catch them going in nowhere near as common , exiting the hole it is normal to get a Neck strike, entering the hole you will get a high chest strike , both are fatal in seconds .........IMBRA and JUBY Traps are both Rabbit traps but you can pick a lot of rats up but when a Rat enters from the front it will often be thrown through the trap and be caught by the tail which it will promptly bite off
-
Set a couple of traps this morning , they were all in well used holes and i think they should all catch but will one night be long enough ???? chucked a couple of wires onto a run through a gateway which as been a friend in the past , the season is over around here but it has never really started , got a trip down to Norfolk lined up but i am not expecting much from that ,roll on next season , the last one was a stinker.
-
I do live for now but i often wonder how my grand children would have hacked it , i would love to shove the b*****ds out there for a month but saying that there was a POW who worked there and i could not have hacked his .
-
The Orchard is now a large Badger sett now the old Fellah would have turned in his grave if he saw that , he had lost the bottom of his leg WW1 he used to climb the stairs at night it made an awful noise and my sister used to tell me that it was Blind Mary coming to get my eyes and that would start me wailing , if Mam heard she would come in and my sister would say i had been swearing , CRACK.

Snares-How We See Vs How They See
micky replied to Wolfdog91's topic in Snaring, Trapping & Pest Control
I suppose it could help but do we Know what colors a fox or rabbit can see? in this Country Foxes and Rabbits go through wire fences many times a day and they have no fear of wire at all , if you think it works go ahead but i think it is just making the job more complicated . -
The salesman told me it was a decent Camera and perhaps it would be if it worked , all i wanted was something that took a picture day or night at ten feet just like my old one did , he can have it back in the morning .
-
Here is the E,O,D. taken at home after charging the heap of shit for an hour .
-
Yesterday i set six snares about five mile down the road ,this morning because of fallen trees i had to make a twenty mile detour , whi have lost a load of pictures the en i got there i had pulled a couple up and then on to my sixth snare which had tagged a cock bird by which time my camera had packed up , i have only had it six weeks and it has never been right the pictures are fuzzy, black , not there and the battery goes flat so it will be on its way back to-day.

Sheep and Airgun Pellets
micky replied to PeskyWabbits's topic in Living Off The Land & Game Cooking
All grazing animals including Rabbits are safe from Puff Pellets until the warm dry weather get here ,about April /May time Milky Does and six week old Rabbits should then don their tin hats as protection from the Puff Gunners doing their Pest Control duties
